Beethoven's 5th (2003)
When Sara takes Beethoven to spend summer vacation with wacky Uncle Freddie in an old mining town, the mischievous canine "digs up" the missing clue to a legendary hidden fortune of Rita and Moe Selig. Now everybody wants to be the dog's best friend as his discovery unleashes a frenzy of treasure hunting among the community's cast of kooky creatures. With help from Uncle Freddie and Garrett (a friend or maybe more), Sara and Beethoven try to help uncover a secret that has been in the crazy little town for years.
In Beethoven's 5th, consciousness is carried by animals — a plane of “dog-town treasure hunt”. The story fights on E8/E9/E10 of the E0–E14 reality ladder, compressing greed, community, law.
